Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter (melted or browned)
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and coconut sugar, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add gluten free flour, baking soda, and sea salt to the wet mix, stirring until the dough forms and resembles typical cookie dough consistency.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini dark chocolate chips into the dough evenly without overmixing.
- Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop to portion out balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them appropriately for baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookie edges are just very lightly browned, indicating doneness.
- Cool Cookies: Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack or plate to finish cooling.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure the cottage cheese is well blended until smooth before adding.
- Using gluten-free flour allows these cookies to be suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase coconut sugar slightly, but keep in mind the moisture balance.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for a week.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts for extra crunch if desired.
